Smiling Woman Enters
Police Station Holding a Donut Box. What Cops Say She Does Next Gets Her
Arrested — and a Mental Evaluation.

3.3K

It was the day after Christmas when Lindsey McNamara entered the
Framingham, Massachusetts, police station “with a great smile on her
face,” Lieutenant Harry Wareham told the Boston Globe.

In fact the 24-year-old from Ashland was reportedly carrying
a Dunkin’ Donuts box, police told the paper — what could possibly go
wrong?

When an officer at the front desk asked if he could help her, McNamara answered: “Yeah, I’m here to feed the pigs,” the Boston Herald reported, citing a police report.

With that police said McNamara took raw bacon and sausage from the
box and began smearing it on the dispatch window, the Globe said.

More from the Herald:

She was immediately arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and malicious destruction of property worth less than $250.

Asked by the officer why she did it, McNamara said: “God told me to go feed the pigs,” according to the police report.

Both the Dunkin’ Donuts box and the artery-clogging breakfast meats
were logged as evidence, and officers attempted to clean the front desk
“as best as possible,” the police report noted.

During a hearing Friday, a judge postponed McNamara’s arraignment until Feb. 9. She was then taken to a hospital to undergo a mental health evaluation, the Herald reported, citing a Middlesex District Attorney spokeswoman.

“I don’t know who it is but somebody’s out to get me,” McNamara said in court, according to a WCVB-TV video report.

"If you thought the term pig arose in the 1960s, you're in for a surprise. The OED cites an 1811 reference to a "pig" as a Bow Street Runner--the early police force, named after the location of their headquarters, before Sir Robert Peel and the Metropolitan Police Force. The usage was probably confined to the criminal classes until the 1960s, when it was taken up by protestors. False explanations for the term involve the gas masks worn by the riot police in that era, or the pigs in charge of George Orwell's Animal Farm."

Pig wasn't meant to be a negative reference for peace officers, in fact many police departments in the 1970's made PIG memorabilia to combat that image, PIG standing for Pride, Integrity, and Guts.

DD was 2 ....maybe 3 and we went to a picnic in which a bunch of cops and their families were there. Another officer's wife was playing with DD and doing the whole "what does a dog say? What does a cow say?" etc game. So there is this group of cops and she gets to "what does a pig say?" She pipes up with "freeze! put your hands up." Those cops thought it the funniest thing they'd ever seen.

She's 7 now and they still ask her when they see her "What does a pig say?"

Quoting LawNOrderMommy:
